If you’re getting chocolate for your partner this Valentine’s Day, let it be these luxe truffles from Charbonnel et Walker. Charbonnel et Walker is one of Britain’s first chocolatiers, and is endorsed by the Royal Warrant to be a chocolate manufacturer for the Queen of United Kingdom. All the chocolates are still hand-made following traditional recipes.

This brand is especially known for its dark chocolate that’s made of dark couverture, which is the highest grade of chocolate available. Dark couverture consists of a high percentage of cocoa butter and has a low melting point. So you can expect silky soft texture and rich flavor to be released upon contact with your tongue.

4. Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera

This is the newest and mini version of Fuji’s Instax polaroid camera. In product reviews, users rave about the photo quality, and the ease of use once the camera is set up. “Photos turn out perfect nearly every time. Very easy to use, simple point and shoot for anyone from ages 5-100. Gives you that vintage look and feel of nostalgia when they print out right in front of you. 10/10 would buy again ;)” writes one reviewer.

5. Alcohol Gift Sets & Cocktail Chiller Stones

A nice addition to any alcohol gift is these whiskey stones, which keep your drinks chilled without diluting them and make them look fancy. Plus, your partner will have something to keep long after the bottles are gone.

What’s better than roses? Edible rose products. If you don’t live in the vicinity of a Ladurée, or prefer to shop online, here is a good alternative. These macarons are freshly baked daily for each order and contain all-natural ingredients. The rose-flavored macarons are made with edible rose petals in the shells and are filled with strawberry marmalade. If you prefer a different flavor or a variety of flavors, you can email the bakery along with your order, and they’re happy to oblige.

7. Illesteva Sunglasses

Launched in 2009, the Euro-made Illesteva has risen up the fashion ranks quickly to be one of the most sought-after luxury eyewear brands, with a devoted customer base that includes celebrities and street-style stars. These blue-mirrored round sunglasses that add a cool flair to any outfit are bound to become a go-to item in your partner’s closet.

8. Naadam Cashmere Scarf

Cashmere’s mass-market popularity with the rise of fast-fashion in recent years has made it difficult to separate the good kind from the bad, and its price (or softness) is not always an indicator of quality. Naadam is one of the few brands that use Grade A cashmere, high ply yarn and work with quality Italian mills. The brand only uses certified ethically sourced material and its direct-to-consumer practice keeps the prices in middle range. This ribbed scarf in gray melange, made of pure cashmere sourced from Mongolia, is sure to keep your partner warm and cozy for years to come, with no extra bulk.

9. Ringly Activity Tracker & Smart Ring

Here is a wearable smart device that is more stylish, discreet and practical than any bulky smart watch. Ringly smart rings are water-resistant, last for 2-3 days on a single charge, and track steps and calories. The ring also updates the user on incoming alerts, which are customizable via its accompanying mobile app. It is also smart enough to alert you if you left your phone behind.

10. Shinola Bracelet Watch

Shinola watches are built in Detroit, with imported parts. This rose-gold bracelet watch is sleek and fancy without losing any of the features that are sometimes neglected on women’s watches, such as the third hand for the seconds and the date.
